Young leaders ready to lead…in the Last Days!
Young leaders who are ready to lead…
Cast you eye through the Bible of those young men and women, boys and girls, whom God chose to use even though their years on earth were in the early times.
People like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Off course there is the young David who took down the giant Goliath and little Samuel who heard the voice of God speak to him even though he was just a little boy.
For the ladies, we cannot go past young Mary, wife of Joseph, whom God chose to be the mother of our Saviour and Lord.
Paul devoted two entire letters in the New Testament to a young Pastor by the name of Timothy. The Bible declares in the book of Acts that God would use young ones in the Last Days to be His servants prior to His return – Act 2:17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, (and your old men shall dream dreams)
I sense that God is indeed looking to those we often overlook, simply because of their age, to be the movers in the church of today!
I do not think it is merely a coincidence that Calvary Chapel Secret Harbour has had a burst of little ones and then the obvious flow on of older children filling the rooms and sanctuary. May we, with God’s discernment guiding us, drop our eyes a little lower to those young boy and girls, and see God’s calling and their passion to serve and fan it!
May we with God’s blessing see these young ones launch into ministries like those who have gone before them!
Paul gave young Timothy six points he need to follow to see God’s calling on his young life come to fruition:
Be an example
Devote yourself to God’s Word, showing where their authority came from
Not neglect the calling and gifting God has placed upon you
Be diligent and wholehearted
Be consistent in you life that it matches what the Bible teaches
Be respectful in all relationships you have contact with
Exciting days lay ahead…..
